One Big Mistake That Will Ruin Your New Years Resolution to Get in Shape

As a health coach, I see a lot of people who want to get in shape for the new year. It’s natural. It’s a new year filled with new promises and new possibilities. It seems like nothing is impossible.

There is a lot of truth in that last statement–nothing seems impossible! But wait. Haven’t you been here before? Haven’t we all? I remember telling myself every January 1st. that this year would be the year I finally got in shape. But by the following December, I found myself in the same if not worse shape than when I started. So what’s gone wrong and how can we fix it?

The truth is that it is not just one thing but a bunch of small things that that add up to failure. However, if there is one encapsulating issue that if addressed would solve most problems, it would be this: No plan!

No Plan 

Instead of having a plan people say things like, “I’m just going to try harder,” or “I’m going to be more healthy,” and “I just need to lose a few pounds.”

The problem with this is that it is too vague. In what ways are you going to try harder? What does “more healthy” mean? And how much weight do you actually need to lose? The truth is without a specific plan you are more than likely going to find yourself in the same place by next year.

The plan you choose should be specific and should cover an eating protocol, a workout protocol, and psychological conditioning. You want to keep as motivated as possible on all levels of fitness. This includes what you eat, how you move your body, and your state of mind.

Realistic

Your plan should be realistic. It should include a time when you can eat your favorite foods, and a time off of exercising for rest.

It should also include more than one way to track your weight-loss progress. For example, the scale is a great way to see how much you have lost but this should not be your only means of measuring your success. Another way is by having a goal shirt or dress that you want to fit into. Often you may not be making progress on the scale but you may be fitting better into your clothes.

Finally, let me extent an invitation to you from Advanced Weight-Loss Resources. If you are looking for lasting success in the area of health and fitness, please contact us and let’s get you to your goal weight this year!

I Could Not Believe The Scale 8/20/16

The good news is I’m down to 204. That is two pounds from last week. And it was very unexpected. I was planning on maintaining or being up a pound or so, but I really did not expect to lose weight. I cannot remember the last time I weighed that low.

Over the last 24 hours there is really not much to tell. I have gone a full day without eating to there is nothing to report there.

After work I ran my 4 miles. I made more than 3 without stopping. The last was walking and running. I plan on trying to make it to 4 without stopping and even upping my run by a mile. After the run, I did a light bicep, shoulder, and back workout.

Anyway here is a picture of me in my goal-shirt. The first one is from today, the next is from last week, and the final one is from where I started.

I was really happy with my performance today as well as the results. I can go into my rest and free day without shame and feeling like I earned it.

 

More Weight Loss Update 8/19/2016

There is not a lot to report today. I was not able to get an accurate weigh in because my time at the gym was short lived. After my incredibly difficult and exhaustive workout yesterday, I did not have much in my tank today. I got to the gym at about 6:30 AM with every intention of running at least 4 miles. But I was so sore all I could get out of myself was a quarter mile.

I went to work where I am on my feet all day with every intent to go back to the gym after. But again, I was way too tired. I came home and crashed out.

After I woke up, I managed to get some push ups in before dinner. About 100 altogether.

Had a great dinner but I did not make it a full 24 hours. I made it 21 1/2 hours. Pretty good but now what I wanted to accomplish. I finished eating early because I fully intend to go 24 hours without eating. Here are the pictures of what I ate.

Tomorrow is my final weigh in for the week. I will also be posing in my goal shirt whether I have made progress or not. Wish me well.

My 30 Day Weight Loss Journey 8/17/16

Unfortunately I have bad news on two major issues. First off the scale is up a pound and a half. I weighed in at 207.5 today. But I did have a lot of sugar last night so it was to be expected.

Another problem was that I did not get to run today. I got kicked in the leg last night in class. I really did not think much of it when it happened. And it really did not hurt that much until I tried running this morning. Instead I lifted weights. I did a chest and bicep workout.

Later today, I went back to the gym and tried to run again. Still could not do it. I decided to get in the pool for a while and let my leg rest. I really hope I can run tomorrow. I’m thinking of taking on another mile.

For food today I fasted for about twenty hours. Then I had a feast of salad and meat. Here are the picks. 13934626_863193037115345_1306704565697271081_n 14040178_863192923782023_5512589560622569359_n 14045972_863192920448690_5824429766755926337_n 14051566_863193067115342_733897499473887431_n14079897_863193043782011_3631511768819521843_n

So that is all for today. Hope things go better tomorrow.

48 Hours Of A Weight Loss Tale 8-16-16

Sorry everyone for not posting the last couple of days. Sunday was a cheat and rest day so there was not much to tell. I did not workout and in the afternoon I ate whatever I wanted. Except I did not have any gluten. I’m really trying to stay away from the stuff and I cannot express how much better I feel off of gluten.

In fact, carb cycling has been a big part of my weight-loss journey. And when I have a carb night with gluten I feel like crap the next day. But Sunday I had a lot of carbs but no gluten, but I did not get that sick feeling. So its been more than a week without gluten and I think I’m going to be able to go the whole 30 days.

So on Monday I expected to be a bit heavier. It always happens after a big carb and rest day. You just hold onto water. But I did not do too bad. I started the week at 207.5 and today I weighed in at 206! So down a pound already.

My exercise for Monday went really well. I was able to run 3 miles without stopping. Only walked about a quarter of a mile then ran the rest. Also did an hour of Yoga, and hit 15 miles on a bike. And I’m not done. I completed a chest and bicep workout. Finally, later in the day, I taught my Martial Arts class.

I ate a taco salad (no shell) for lunch. And a lot of chicken for dinner. I’m not going to post any pictures this time.

Today I was able to run 3 and a quarter mile before I had to walk a little. Still did 4 miles on under 38 min! That was in the morning.

I had about a 17 hour fast and broke it with a salad and some corn chips. After work, I went to the gym and did a light shoulder and back workout. Also, I walked a bit.

I did not make all great decisions for dinner. Chicken, rice, a few pieces of dark chocolate, two rice crispy treats. I punished myself by going to kickboxing and working as hard as I could. Anyway, I never know if it is going to effect my weight the next day. I really don’t eat much for the amount I workout.

I’ll try my best to take pictures tomorrow. Thanks everyone.
